We thank all the lovely staff for everything they did to make Mum's final days peaceful and calm, particularly the two staff who were so gentle and thorough with their care on the night she became ill.

Sovereign Lodge has been magnificent in their care of my husband up to the point when he died in November. All the staff were wonderful, but my personal praise goes to the Nurse. She made certain that all family members were aware of what was happening, speaking to each of them to ensure that they all knew the situation as his condition deteriorated and to ensure that everyone was on the same page throughout. Her warmth and care helped me to get through a difficult time, and she oversaw his final days. I shall always be eternally grateful to her and all the staff for their support during this very stressful time.
Thank you for your very kind words about the team here at Sovereign Lodge and your experience with us. It was a pleasure to look after your husband whilst he was with us. I will be sure to pass them on to the team.
The staff are very caring both to residents and visitors, when our friend was reaching end of life they kept us informed and made her as comfortable as possible. I can recommend Sovereign Lodge to anyone looking for a care home.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I will be sure to pass this review on to the whole team. It's been a pleasure to care for your friend and to know you.
My wife was transferred to Sovereign Lodge at the beginning of September 2023. Unfortunately, my wife was bed-bound but from the moment she arrived, she was cared for with compassion and dignity. My wife was always kept clean and tidy. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, everything ran...
My wife was in Sovereign Lodge for almost 4 months and the treatment she received was second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending the home.
The room was a little tired and perhaps some decorating was needed, but I guess with a continual throughput of residents it is difficult to find time to decorate.
Thank you for your lovely words, it was a pleasure to know your family. I will make sure to pass this on to the team. The redecorating of the rooms is a work in progress.

I am very impressed with the care he received throughout the remaining five months of his life, and would strongly commend the staff for their dedication to residents.
Thank you so much for finding the time to write this review. Your positive comments are really appreciated and mean a lot to the dedicated team here at Sovereign Lodge.
Sovereign Lodge cared for Mum while we found a placement nearer home. During her stay, Mum received excellent care. She perked up so much and enjoyed her stay. All the staff are so caring and helpful.

We thank you for taking the time to review our home. Knowing we make a difference in our residents' day is so important. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
There is always a welcome when you arrive. The nurses are always ready to answer any questions and give a review of the patient. The person I see is happy there and content with everything. I leave feeling happy knowing that the person I visit is content with her life.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your positive comments are really appreciated and mean a lot to the dedicated team at Sovereign Lodge. It has been a pleasure getting to know your Mum and the rest of the family.
My husband was admitted a month ago. All the staff have been very kind and attentive, Nurses very patient, which can’t be easy when you have a good number of residents. Entertainment is great, the activities girls are full of energy , fun, and helpfulness to all residents. There is plenty to...
. Food is very good , no one would go hungry , and interestingly, my husband who can be choosy about what he will eat, is thoroughly enjoying his meals and eating things he wouldn’t normally go for at home !
Thoroughly recommend Sovereign Lodge as a well run , caring Home .
Thank you for your very kind words. We are all here to make a difference and ensure we offer the best possible care to our residents. I will pass on your kind words to the team.

My wife has been in Sovereign Lodge for just over six weeks having settled in well from day one. What I thought would be a traumatic time for both of us proved to be much easier due to the devotion of the staff and the caring environment they provide. She often expresses how happy she is and how much she enjoys being there. I am continually amazed at the dedication of the staff and the loving and caring attitude they have towards the residents and although it is a very relaxed environment at Sovereign Lodge, this is not at the expense of the efficiency and effectiveness. Overall, there is really nothing not to like. The food is good, the place is kept spotless and above all the staff are fantastic in providing a safe, loving and very often fun environment for the residents to live in. We both feel so lucky that Sovereign Lodge was suggested to us. It has been a good choice and would strongly recommend it to anyone seeking care for a loved one in this area.
Thank you for your generous words. We are so pleased to hear our staff are so dedicated, loving and have a caring attitude towards your wife and other residents. The staff always go above and beyond and make sure the best care possible is being provided. Please do let us know if there are still areas that we need to improve to make your wife's stay as comfortable as possible.
I have found Sovereign Lodge to be a very friendly place, always a lovely welcome when I visit my husband (which is most days), nothing is too much trouble for the care workers.

My mother has been with Sovereign Lodge since January 2022 and you have made her so happy with all the entertainment you have and parties. All the staff are so kind, caring and helpful which is reassuring. My mother and father celebrated last September their 70th wedding anniversary at Sovereign Lodge with a party for family and special friends and it was lovely. Your staff made it all worthwhile for us. Many thanks for keeping Mum safe, much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your loved one in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your mother stay as comfortable as possible. It has been our pleasure that we managed to take part in your parent's wedding anniversary.
My aunt was placed here in an assessment bed from hospital. Every single member of the team that we encountered were all so helpful, caring and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sovereign Lodge, I just wish it was nearer to us so that my aunt could have stayed longer.

Sovereign Lodge provided excellent care for Mum's one-month stay, which really took the pressure off me. All the staff were professional, caring, polite and extremely respectful. The fact that visiting Mum was unrestricted, all hours, night and day, meant that visitors could decide their own times. Thank you so much for being able to care for Mum during her final weeks.
Thank you so much for finding the time to complete a review. Your kind words are truly appreciated. From all at Sovereign Lodge, our thoughts remain with you and the rest of the family.

All the staff, including management, reception were excellent, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Very thankful for the end-of-life care that he was given. If I have to go to a care home, I'd be very happy to go here.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so pleased that your family is happy. We are proud of our lovely home and how hard our team works to provide the best care.

From my first enquiry and initial visit, I have been extremely impressed by everything and everybody at Sovereign Lodge. When my mother moved in, she was treated with such a warm welcome, and she settled in very well from day one. It feels as though everyone is working together to make a very happy home. The management team, nursing team, care staff, activity organisers, office and reception team, catering staff, cleaners and maintenance staff are all extremely kind and caring. They are very knowledgeable and considerate of the resident's needs. The nursing care is exceptional, and I feel that all staff have an excellent understanding of the elderly and od dementia. There are numerous activities every day, all very good. The food looks delicious and birthdays are always celebrated with cake! All in all, Sovereign Lodge is a really well-run, caring home. Thank you, everyone.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and for the thoughtful review. It means such a lot to our care team, and we greatly appreciate this.

My aunt was very well looked after. I was kept informed and warmly welcomed. I am grateful for all that the staff did to help us as a family during this challenging time after her fall, breaking her hip, and after her stroke. The activities coordinators were brilliant. The staff took time with her and seemed to genuinely care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us; it is always rewarding to hear about your personal experience, and it means a lot to our staff.
After searching for a care home for our uncle in Eastbourne (as living in London) - we were delighted that he was accepted and welcomed to Sovereign Lodge - and felt immense relief that he was being cared for after being in hospital for eight weeks suffering from dementia and unable to look after...
All the carers, nurses, activity managers and admin staff are wonderful. They always kept us updated on our uncle's situation as living so far away - which helped tremendously and so welcoming to us when visiting, including invitations to the activities and family events to participate in.
Sovereign Lodge cared for my uncle with great kindness looking after all his needs; he always looked smart and well-groomed, and very grateful to Sovereign Lodge that his end-of-life care needs treated with the utmost dignity.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and for your heartfelt comments. It means a great deal to our team and really helps other friends and families. I have passed your positive feedback to the team and they were so pleased. All the best from all the staff from Sovereign Lodge.

Our day-to-day can be challenging, but it requires commitment, motivation, and skills to make a vision into reality. I am passionate about delivering person-centred care to our residents and maintaining their independence as much as possible. It is a big adjustment for a resident to leave their own house and be in a nursing home, thus, we as a team help them feel welcomed and ensure a homely environment.
The best part of my working day is knowing that I have made a difference in someone's life and have helped them through a difficult situation. Knowing that a resident is satisfied with the care we provide is the greatest achievement for me at the end of the day."

I wished to be part of this growing company and be able to contribute my knowledge and skills, at the same time learning and growing with the company.
Before I came to Healthcare Homes I was anadministrator/receptionist for a different provider.
I think a person needs to be knowledgeable or must be willing to learn. You must be people orientated, know how to deal with different kinds of people in a friendly but professional manner. Must be well organised and know how to manage time. Stay calm.
The favourite part of my working day is being able to help out with the team. Completing tasks and being ready to accept more. Meeting new people.
The biggest professional challenge in my current role was moving from a corporate company where I had been for 5 years to a smaller but growing company. Luckily enough, after a few weeks of intensive training, I was able to adapt and settle quickly into my new home. Thanks to the most friendly and accommodating staff/residents and relatives of Sovereign Lodge and those at our operations office Apex.
My biggest career highlight to date? I am quite happy to see the progression of my career over the span of six years.
Qualities that make me stand out are;A good home manager must have good leadership and at the same time be caring and have a passionate heart. Time management is also very important.
My interests outside of work are spending time with my little boy, playing in the sand or swimming together. I also like watching movies and shopping.
I look forward to working with my colleagues who are a bunch of happy and energetic people. Meeting and greeting residents and relatives. Being productive at work – being able to accomplish all tasks given

Before joining Healthcare Homes I was a...
Sovereign Lodge has a very good name in the local community and I wished to have a more fulfilling job roleBefore joining Healthcare Homes I was a landlady at a local public house. I had always worked in the service industry.
To be good in my role I need to be bubbly, outgoing, motivated and confident. Being able to work as part of a team or take a lead role if necessary. Energetic, enthusiastic and loving the job of making people happy.
The favourite part of my working day is putting a smile on people’s faces and making a difference. Giving residents something to look forward to.
My biggest professional challenge in my current role is being diverse in the role and giving a wide variety in the activity schedule; keeping it fresh and exciting. I am undertaking a Health Care Practitioner trainee role which I am very excited about and looking forward to the outcome.
Although there have been many highlights during my time here, none more important than walking in to the lounge areas and seeing smiling, happy residents
The qualities I have to make me stand out are good leadership qualities, being able to communicate freely with staff. Good problem solving skills
Outside of work I like spending time with my family, dining out, walking and enjoying the fresh air with loved ones, watching movies and shopping
The relationships I have formed with my colleagues and residents; it’s not just a job to me. I can honestly say in my time working here, this is my family as well as my friends

I enjoy working with the staff and being part of a supportive team. I take pride in meeting residents’ expectations and resolving any problems...
I enjoy working with the staff and being part of a supportive team. I take pride in meeting residents’ expectations and resolving any problems quickly to keep the home running smoothly. I hold a degree in Carpentry and Joinery from Sussex Downs College, which helps me maintain a safe and comfortable environment for everyone.

We have a great team here, and I’m passionate about providing good food for our residents.
